void dhcp_arp_reply	(	struct netif *	netif,
		ip_addr_t *	addr
	)

Match an ARP reply with the offered IP address.

if enabled, check whether the offered IP address is not in use, using ARP

Parameters:

netif	the network interface on which the reply was received
addr	The IP address we received a reply from

Definition at line 799 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_bind ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Bind the interface to the offered IP address.

Parameters:

netif network interface to bind to the offered address

Definition at line 923 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_check ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Checks if the offered IP address is already in use.

It does so by sending an ARP request for the offered address and entering CHECKING state. If no ARP reply is received within a small interval, the address is assumed to be free for use by us.

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 211 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_cleanup ( struct netif * netif )

Removes a struct dhcp from a netif.

ATTENTION: Only use this when not using dhcp_set_struct() to allocate the struct dhcp since the memory is passed back to the heap.

Parameters:

netif the netif from which to remove the struct dhcp

Definition at line 602 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_coarse_tmr ( void )

The DHCP timer that checks for lease renewal/rebind timeouts.

to be called every minute

Definition at line 333 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_create_msg	(	struct netif *	netif,
		struct dhcp *	dhcp,
		u8_t	message_type
	)		`[static]`

Create a DHCP request, fill in common headers.

Parameters:

netif	the netif under DHCP control
dhcp	dhcp control struct
message_type	message type of the request

default global transaction identifier starting value (easy to match with a packet analyser). We simply increment for each new request. Predefine DHCP_GLOBAL_XID to a better value or a function call to generate one at runtime, any supporting function prototypes can be defined in DHCP_GLOBAL_XID_HEADER

Definition at line 1621 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_decline ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Decline an offered lease.

Tell the DHCP server we do not accept the offered address. One reason to decline the lease is when we find out the address is already in use by another host (through ARP).

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 828 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_delete_msg ( struct dhcp * dhcp ) [static]

Free previously allocated memory used to send a DHCP request.

Parameters:

dhcp	the dhcp struct to free the request from

Definition at line 1713 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_discover ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Start the DHCP process, discover a DHCP server.

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 868 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_fine_tmr ( void )

DHCP transaction timeout handling.

to be called every half second

A DHCP server is expected to respond within a short period of time. This timer checks whether an outstanding DHCP request is timed out.

Definition at line 365 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_handle_ack ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Handle a DHCP ACK packet.

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 504 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_handle_nak ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Back-off the DHCP client (because of a received NAK response).

Back-off the DHCP client because of a received NAK. Receiving a NAK means the client asked for something non-sensible, for example when it tries to renew a lease obtained on another network.

We clear any existing set IP address and restart DHCP negotiation afresh (as per RFC2131 3.2.3).

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 183 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_handle_offer ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Remember the configuration offered by a DHCP server.

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Definition at line 238 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_inform ( struct netif * netif )

Inform a DHCP server of our manual configuration.

inform server of our manual IP address

This informs DHCP servers of our fixed IP address configuration by sending an INFORM message. It does not involve DHCP address configuration, it is just here to be nice to the network.

Parameters:

netif The lwIP network interface

Definition at line 708 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_network_changed ( struct netif * netif )

Handle a possible change in the network configuration.

This enters the REBOOTING state to verify that the currently bound address is still valid.

Definition at line 762 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_option_trailer ( struct dhcp * dhcp ) [static]

Add a DHCP message trailer.

Adds the END option to the DHCP message, and if necessary, up to three padding bytes.

Parameters:

dhcp	DHCP state structure

Definition at line 1734 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_parse_reply	(	struct dhcp *	dhcp,
		struct pbuf *	p
	)		`[static]`

Extract the DHCP message and the DHCP options.

Extract the DHCP message and the DHCP options, each into a contiguous piece of memory. As a DHCP message is variable sized by its options, and also allows overriding some fields for options, the easy approach is to first unfold the options into a conitguous piece of memory, and use that further on.

Definition at line 1324 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_rebind ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Rebind with a DHCP server for an existing DHCP lease.

Parameters:

netif network interface which must rebind with a DHCP server

Definition at line 1076 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_reboot ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Enter REBOOTING state to verify an existing lease.

Parameters:

netif network interface which must reboot

Definition at line 1136 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static void dhcp_recv	(	void *	arg,
		struct udp_pcb *	pcb,
		struct pbuf *	p,
		ip_addr_t *	addr,
		u16_t	port
	)		`[static]`

If an incoming DHCP message is in response to us, then trigger the state machine.

Definition at line 1517 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

err_t dhcp_release ( struct netif * netif )

Release a DHCP lease.

release the DHCP lease, usually called before dhcp_stop()

Parameters:

netif network interface which must release its lease

Definition at line 1178 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

err_t dhcp_renew ( struct netif * netif )

Renew an existing DHCP lease at the involved DHCP server.

enforce early lease renewal (not needed normally)

Parameters:

netif network interface which must renew its lease

Definition at line 1013 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

static err_t dhcp_select ( struct netif * netif ) [static]

Simply select the first offer received.

Parameters:

netif the netif under DHCP control

Returns:: lwIP specific error (see error.h)

Definition at line 269 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

void dhcp_set_struct	(	struct netif *	netif,
		struct dhcp *	dhcp
	)

Set a statically allocated struct dhcp to work with.

Using this prevents dhcp_start to allocate it using mem_malloc.

Parameters:

netif	the netif for which to set the struct dhcp
dhcp	(uninitialised) dhcp struct allocated by the application

Definition at line 583 of file lwip_dhcp.c.

err_t dhcp_start ( struct netif * netif )

start DHCP configuration

If no DHCP client instance was attached to this interface, a new client is created first. If a DHCP client instance was already present, it restarts negotiation.

Parameters:
